I am selling a used car,book value is 3200. I am the second owner, bought it from the family of someone who has passed away. The previous owner kept meticulous records for repairs & service, oil change receipts etc etc. all the way back to point of sale, with original sales slip and window sticker. It will need rear brake pads soon, and the A/c has a leak, we disclosed all of this in our add, and asked 2500. Its a Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4wd, very nice. I will not be too sad if we keep it for another winter.
So last week a very nice woman came to see it (driving a Porshe SUV by the way) she was very sweet, told me she was looking for something for her teenager and wanted to know how low I would go on the price. I told her I would like 2500, but that I would consider any REASONABLE offer. She said she would call us, never did.
Now fast forward to creepy guy who has been leaving tons of messages for weeks about wanting to see the Jeep. On two occasions he has stood me up for an appointment to see it, and I had decided I was done with him and I stopped returning his phone calls. He started calling several times a day. This past weekend he called at 8am on saturday, waking us up. We let the machine get it. He called all day, up until 11pm. His last message was " I am ready to purchase your Jeep tomorrow" which seemed odd to me, since he had never seen it. He may have driven by it. Now Sunday morning the phone rings at 730 am, he leaves a message, saying he wants to buy the Jeep, he will pay cash, and he wants to see it asap. Now I wanted NO PART of this. I had planned to ignore him. My DF called him back, they arranged for us to go by his "work" to show it immediately.
We get there, he has a Jeep same model, same year, different color. He is in the process of opening a business, a corner store and pizza/sub shop. He offers me 1300 bucks, I laughed and started to leave. Then he offered 1000 and asked me to "finance the rest and he would pay 50 /month" I said no way, and left. I was pissed, he had woken me up all weekend, and then gave an insulting offer. When we get home there are ALREADY 3 messages from him. He is now offering 2k, and will pay cash. I tell my DF not to call him back. My DF wants to sell the Jeep and be done with it, so he calls the guy. The guy explains to my DF that he is interested primarily in all of the records and repairs etc, and that he needs all of this for his business.???? We are not sure what he is up to,but some sort of tax scam or something. ANywho, they plan to meet at 3pm to sell him the Jeep. I print out a bill of sale, plan to sell Jeep "as is" cuz I dont trust this guy. We wash the jeep, vacuum it, armor all, it is now sparkling clean. Meanwhile Porshe SUV lady calls and asks if th Jeep is still available. I tell her I am sorry but it is not. She asks how much we sold it for (weird) and I told her "a reasonable offer" Then guy DOES NOT SHOW and DOES NOT CALL. We call him sevl times, and do not hear back. So now I am pissed because maybe she would have bought it. I go to call her back and realize, they have the SAME PHONE NUMBER. WTH are these two trying to pull? !!!!!!!
I am SO done with this creep. But he has started calling again with force.My answering machine and cell phone mailboxes are full and its only 10am. I think I need to change my phone number. DF thinks we should sell it to him and "be done with it" . I think selling this guy anything is a bad idea, and I want to be rid of him. I really wish we had not given him our cell and home number. I left him a message telling him the deal is off and DO NOT CALL ME EVER AGAIN. He is still calling and calling I think I might call the police.
Never selling a used car again. Def not calling this guy back ever. Will not be ordering any pizza or subs from this jerk. Just needed to vent, the constant phone ringing is making me beserk.
